The Format:

3 Flag Bases: At each 5-minute interval, one of the three bases will be marked as a “Hot” base, earning the team that holds it, 4 points a minute. When a base is not marked as “Hot”, it will be considered a “Cold” base, earning the team that holds it, 1 point a minute. “Hot” bases will be determined at random by the field referees.

15-Minute Games: 100 points possible per game; 90 points possible for captured flag bases + an additional 10 bonus points for completely eliminating the opposing team before the 15 minutes are up. The team that earns the most points will win that match.

Players Will Have 2 Lives Per Game: The first time a player is eliminated, they will need to return to their start station in order to respawn back into the game. Flag Base Layout & Playing Field: With consideration of the terrain, the following will apply: 1 flag base will be accessible 50/50 for both teams, 1 base will have a slight advantage for one team’s side and vice versa for the other remaining base. Each field will be roughly the area of a football field and may utilize buildings, forts, natural structures, or any other structures common to woodsball.

For the 2013 season, we will be integrating an accelerated format for D3 and D4 match games. Normally, only two teams play at once with a 2 minute beak after each point scored. To reduce the down time in-between points when nothing is going on, there will be another match going on simultaneously. How this is going to work: so let’s say we have Team A and Team B playing their first point, meanwhile, Team C and Team D are in their pits getting prepared. When Team A scores a point against Team B, Team C and Team D will now have 30 seconds to get to their start stations before game time starts. While Team C and Team D play, Team A and Team B will be getting ready in their pits to play their next point. A benefit is your team can potentially have longer than 2 minutes to get ready. In the rare occasion that a point gets over in 20 seconds, the two teams waiting to play their next point will receive a minute to get ready, plus an additional 30 seconds to make it to their start stations, so your team will still have plenty of time in-between points to be prepared to play another point.

Novice Division (D3) Raceto-4 is played in a match game format. Teams will have 12 minutes of game time to score up to 4 points against each other. The winning team is decided by whichever team scores 4 points first or which team has the most points at the end of game time.

Rookie Division (D4) Raceto-3 is played in a match game format. Teams will have 10 minutes of game time to score up to 3 points against each other. The winning team is decided by whichever team scores 3 points first or which team has the most points at the end of game time.

Beginner, Young Guns, and Pump Divisions will be played in a round-robin format
